Chapter 096.2: Marriage Proposal (2)

Mm

, Xie Yu accepted the cup and had two sips.

After that, Du Xueqi took the cup away and put it down.

Seeing Du Xueqi behave so sensibly, Du Xiaoli felt that Xie Yu had taught her child very well. Then she noticed Xie Yus pale face and asked, Third Concubine, are you sick?

Cough, cough.

I did catch a cold recently, but Ive already been seen by the physician, so Im mostly fine now. Xie Yu used her handkerchief to cover her mouth before coughing twice more.

The sound of your cough doesnt sound quite right to me. Since Im a physician thats here right now, why dont you let me examine you? Du Xiaoli said.

How could I trouble you, Third Miss! Xie Yu declined politely.

Du Xiaolis status was higher than Xie Yus. If someone were to see this, there would be bad rumors about Xie Yu again.

Mother, just let Third Elder Sister examine you. I heard you cough really badly at night, Du Xueqi said.

Third Concubine, its fine. If Father finds out youre sick, it will become a real worry then! Du Xiaoli replied with a smile. Give me your hand.

Seeing Du Xiaolis serene smile, Xie Yu placed her hand on the stone table and said, Then Ill have to trouble you, Third Miss.

This is no trouble at all, Du Xiaoli said and checked Xie Yus pulse. After a moment, she withdrew her hand and asked, When you caught a cold, did you delay seeing the physician for several days?

Yes. Xie Yu nodded.

Third Elder Sister, is my mothers sickness really severe? Du Xueqi looked at Du Xiaoli worriedly.

Noticing the pen and paper on the stone table, Du Xiaoli pulled them over. She wrote a prescription while saying, Its a bit troublesome, but its not very serious. If she hadnt delayed for those few days at the start, there wouldnt be a problem. However, dont worry too much for now. Ill prescribe you some medicine, Third Concubine. Drink it for two days. After that, Ill come examine you again.

Thank you, Third Miss. Ive troubled you, Xie Yu said.

Thank you, Third Elder Sister.

Du Xiaoli gave the prescription to Xie Yus servant girl and had her go outside to gather the herbs for the prescription. Since this servant girl had been brought here by Du Yunhan, she was definitely reliable.

Cough, cough,

Xie Yu coughed twice again.

Third Concubine, the weather has gotten cold, and your body is weaker than usual. When you go outside, you must make sure to keep warm, Du Xiaoli advised.

I know, thank you. Xie Yu smiled.

Du Xiaoli looked at the Book of Songs and said, Fifth Younger Sister has indeed reached the age when she should be studying. When you return, have Father find a few teachers for her. Then you wont need to be so worn out.

Master has always been busy lately, so I havent told him, Xie Yu explained. Master has given us a calm and stable environment. We, mother and daughter, are already very grateful for that. How could we possibly trouble him further with these trivial matters?

Today at noon, Fathers coming over to my courtyard for lunch. Ill tell him then. The Academy Compet.i.tion has ended, so Father wont be so busy now, Du Xiaoli said as she stood up from the stool. The weather is cold. Third Concubine, you should return inside earlier. You can come out again when youre feeling a bit better. Also, dont forget to drink the medicine.

I will. Thank you, Third Miss. Xie Yu stood up as well and watched Du Xiaoli leave the pavilion.

It was only after Du Xiaoli walked quite a distance away that Xie Yu finally sat down.

Mother, Third Elder Sister is such a kind person, and shes so amazing. When I grow up, I want to be someone like her! Du Xueqi said.

Xie Yu reached out and caressed Du Xueqis face while saying, Xueqi, a drop of kindness should be repaid with a gus.h.i.+ng spring. You have to be thankful to your father that were able to have such a peaceful life now. You also need to remember to be grateful that Third Miss treats us so well. Do you understand?

Mm, Xueqi understands. Du Xueqi nodded sincerely.

Xie Yu patted Du Xueqis head and said, You truly are a good child. Lets continue reciting the poems.

But Mother, youre not well. We should go back inside. Ill recite them for you there, Du Xueqi said.

All right.

......

When Du Xiaoli returned to Cyan Bamboo Park, she instructed the kitchen to prepare the dishes she wanted for lunch and arranged for Ying Ge to keep a watch out for Du Yunhan and Du Xiuhengs return. Then Du Xiaoli headed to the Wolf Park with Xia Yuan and Qiao Zhu.

After the Mid-autumn festival, she hadnt been able to see Silver and Gold and had instead kept them enclosed inside the Wolf Park. Now that she had returned, they were the ones she most wanted to see.

Awoo

Just as Du Xiaoli arrived at the riverbank opposite the park, Silver and Goldwho were initially lying on the groundimmediately got up and howled excitedly.

Hearing their howls, Du Xiaolis spirits were instantly lifted, and she quickly walked over to the park and pushed open the gate. The moment the entrance gate opened, Silver came bounding toward her.

Awoo

Silver pounced onto Du Xiaoli, placing its paws on Du Xiaolis shoulders and licking her face.

Du Xiaolis eyes teared up as she could feel how much Silver missed her. She could even hear its grievances and complaints from its howls.

Im sorry, Silver. Ive been too busy lately, so Ive had no time to come see you. Keeping you closed up in here all this time I guess you must have been bored to death? Im sorry, so sorry Du Xiaoli said softly while stroking Silvers back and rubbing her head against Silvers head.

Silver seemed to understand what Du Xiaoli said and rushed to reply to her with a howl,

Awoo

Gold bounded over as well. However, it did not pounce into Du Xiaolis embrace so excitedly. Instead, it kept circling around her and biting her skirt.

Right then, Old Qi emerged from the house. Upon seeing Du Xiaoli, Old Qi said, The moment I heard Silver and Gold have such a big reaction, I guessed it would be you, Miss.

MoonWhisperer, TWIP's Thoughts

Apologies to the readers read who my note about us dropping the novel... I thought I deleted it quick enough. Guess not, haha.

The sponsor was unable to find someone to take over the novel, so I've decided to just work on it alone in the meantime.

This means if you're an advanced reader, the chapters won't be available at fixed dates until I'm free enough to build up some stock (which is not anytime in the near future).

Public releases will be as per usual, 2 at the end of the month.

Thanks and happy reading!
